Amazing charcoal technique. I love charcoal. It's one of my favourite things to use when doing life study drawings. The quick line the smudge of the hand to give a gradient shade, it gives back a lot when doing a quick study. And the delicate particulate matter often left when sharp lines or the side of a charcoal stick is used is almost magic, as if place to land by the God's of art themselves. Like many an art teacher said, 'happy accidents'.

I love the detail and one could get lost in the eye of that surreal bird.
